<i>In the only part of Britain occupied by the Nazis during WWII, the nightmare began in June 1940. Hitler's army invaded the defenseless Channel Islands and held its residents hostage for five years.</i> <P>What would any of us do if we had to live side by side with the enemy?

Heart-pounding suspense and unexpected romance unfold in an atmosphere suffused with the moral ambiguity of war. Starring James Wilby <i>(Gosford Park),</i> Clare Holman <i>(Prime Suspect 6),</i> Philip Glenister <i>(Calendar Girls),</i> and Saskia Reeves <i>(Dune).</i> Recommended for mature audiences.</i></p>
